I knew I was going to update one of my older origin videos one day, and that day is now. That’s right, the Train Whistle Origin series is back in full swing!
Main SFX: youtu.be/OEZLDt8TDms?si=CouQHzPmrohdCvlP
Old version of this video as of 2020: youtu.be/2-wKV-w-aSM
Anyway, if anyone doesn’t remember, at one time I made my second origin video which covers two ex-Denver and Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) K-36 2-8-2 Mikado type narrow gauge steam locomotives numbered 484 & 489. According to one of Brad Miller’s many sound effects he was known for at the time he was still alive, in the mid to late 1980s, he made a brief stop at the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad to catch some trains via audio, and these two K-36s were the ones of this particular focus.
There are other pieces of media which use the same sound recording which I will be listing quite a few below:
- Phineas and Ferb (Practically that one SteamPunk inspired episode featuring Swerry the Swan, a SteamPunk version of Perry the Platypus)
- Fairly Odd Parents (Episodes unknown)
- Make Way For Noddy (Several episodes which had trains in it apparently)
- The Little Engine That Could (1991 version; Particularly used as Pete’s whistle)
- Whistle-Stop Mindy (An Animaniacs cartoon short which featured a little girl and her dog messing about, which they used to live by the tracks where trains would rumble by)
- Other sources which I am too lazy to list for reasons I’d rather not discuss, or too lazy to come up with at the time being unless if I can get enough information as of which movies or tv shows use the same sound effect.

![[Trainz 2019] Railfanning - Memorial Day Special](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XdUcrNdpsMg/mqdefault.jpg "[Trainz 2019] Railfanning - Memorial Day Special
Two videos in one week? Man, I really gotta pick up the pace! Anyway, I haven’t made a Trainz railfanning video in a while, yet in some parts of the world I maybe a bit too late. Different time zones and all, but FEAR NOT, I am still alive and well! And yet I’m at my last week of school before summer vacation!
The first shots were at Altamont CA, and the last shot is at Donner Pass. Both locations are scratch built by me, which aren’t 100% accurate compared to how they look in real life.
Train 1:
Our first commuter train of the day, led by GS-6 #4460, making a late evening stop at Altamont.
Train 2:
One of many freight trains highballing past the old depot making up for lost time, while sounding its horn for a nearby crossing.
Train 3:
Yet another freight train passing by the same location, except it’s at the moment when the sun was just about to rise.
Train 4:
A railfan’s favorite, SP’s famous GS-4 #4449, pulling the Coast Daylight heading northbound, makes a regularly scheduled stop at Altamont before proceeding.
Train 5:
A UP military speeds past the old depot with a load of Sherman tanks ready to be sent to the front lines outside of the US.
Train 6:
SP AC-11 #4249 leads a manifest freight train as it speeds past the old depot, on-time as always.
*Note: The whistle I have here will be featured in Pack 15, which is still a work in progress. Might be able to get it done by the end of June.*
Bonus Shot:
Another railfan favorite, SP AC-12 #4294 thunders up the steep grades and winds up these sharp curves at Donner Pass.
Those are all the shots I have today, and don’t forget to subscribe if you want to see more stuff like this!

Okay so a lot has happened on my end, but to cut it short, I was finally able to upload my first music video for the new year! Originally I was going to upload it on New Years Day, but I was very busy. After all, holidays always leave my hands full. Anyway, this is the first time I have ever used a song from the one and only Rush! Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: No money has been made making this video, and I do not own this song. I only made this for entertainment purposes, and to showcase all of the filmography editing skills and how they keep evolving for every video.
Sounds Only Version: https://youtu.be/xUMOl3YgRaU
So I was streaming through several songs and I have a handful of great songs I would use for my music videos, and this was one of them. And no i do not accept song requests for this series since they are all handpicked by me without any requests given.

![[Trainz 2022] Pack 7 Minor Update](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aSlUARvX5Vc/mqdefault.jpg "[Trainz 2022] Pack 7 Minor Update
At this point I realized I made a minor screw-up but this update is mainly focused on one of the whistles I made for Pack 7, which is labeled as UP Short Bell 5 Chime V3, and I included a different variant of the Star Brass 5 Chime but its V2.5 since this pack was made before I made Star Brass 5 chime V3 for a future whistle pack.
Pack 7: https://youtu.be/0RJQdaztyxw?si=pnTdhppofxxuODoM
Still available!

Okay, so I got some good news and I got some bad news. The bad news is that I am no longer able to log in back to Trainz 2019, because of the problem with my username, which Id rther not discuss it here. However, the good news is that I opened another Trainz account, which my new username is now called WesternSeaside572. I can assure you that I am still the same person, but with a different username.
While at it, I have also been able to buy Trainz 2022 for the first time! I didnt get the platinum version with the Surveyor 2.0 because my iMac might not do so well with the performance. But other than that, I am so proud that I am finally able to make new videos, even with a brand new simulator!
So yeah, goodbye TRS19, and hello TRS22!
BTW, the shot at 2:05 is supposed to be a reference to The Full Bucketniers episode 5 A Different Point Of View, where Connor was supposed to meet up with Larry (whose number was originally 4100) except it takes place elsewhere and the sun is still out. Oh, and Connor has a wrong bell in this scene.
Also, this video is basically a test/railfanning video, except I couldn’t come up with a proper title.
